IELDEY has made a real name for herself in the art world, painting dozens of surfboards, walls and skateboards, cars – even bowling pins, a 2.4m remote-controlled jet boat and has even created artwork for the 2014 Iron Fist ladies range. Fieldey - or Haylee Fieldes to those who know her closely - was born in New Zealand in the 80s and moved to Norfolk Island, where she learned a love for the ocean. Ever the nomad, she left to study in Sydney, work in London, and finally settled in Perth. Here she learned to surf and decided to custom-paint her own surfboard. And so it began… I BELIEVE FIELDEY - THE NAME, THE LEGEND — WAS BORN FROM THE MAKING OF THE FISH WIFE? TELL US THE TALE... To tell that tale I’ll have to travel way back into the mists of time when I was a wee little tacker who used to obsessively paint and draw all the time. I was always told I was going to be an artist and I believed it right up until I was about to finish school and I had a careers advisor who convinced me I’d die poor and alone if I pursued art as a career. Not wanting to die in a lonely garret missing an ear, I studied graphic design as a way to make money out of being creative. I did that for about 10 years giving up on my youthful dreams of being an artist and gradually becoming more disillusioned with the whole corporate design gig. I moved to Perth and took up surfing in 2011 for something to do here and also as a way to get over my long-held fear of the ocean… after 6 months I was no longer terrified of the sea and reckoned I was more than ready to upgrade to a short(er) board (I know, rookie mistake) and decided to paint my sexy new 6’6” Superfish for fun. Having no idea how to paint a surfboard and some pretty rusty painting skills, I researched everything I could find online and asked a local surfboard shaper how to go about it. The name the Fish Wife is a bad pun, and the character that goes with it is a “reverse mermaid” the less alluring fish-headed cousin of a beautiful mermaid. Me and my brother decided to film the process and put it up on YouTube and I cringe a little bit to watch it now, but painting that surfboard kicked the whole thing off and started my career as an artist, which I now do full time. HA - take that career advisor! 40 SMORGASBOARDER | SUMMER <strong>2016</strong>
